Green Living and Learning Tour - 9/28

3rd annual Green Living & Learning Tour, sponsored by Green Community Connections, offers a range of opportunities to see first-hand examples of sustainable living. The tour takes place throughout Oak Park and River Forest on Saturday, September 28.

Special features on the tour include a local fish farm and wine making operation, a Repair Café, a "passive house" in River Forest, residential water conservation efforts, and a new opportunity to learn more about the importance of native eco-systems and wildlife support. Tour stops will also highlight solar and geo-thermal installations in private residences, going “green” in a condo, rainwater harvesting, and curbside composting, among other sustainability initiatives.
